subject: Kanet updates GEOS Megapatch, geoDOS 64, GeoConvert

=========== Forwarded message =============
(from "nonefornow" at the c-128.freeforums.net site)

Markus Kanet has updated the GEOS MegaPatch program.  A D81 containing the
upgrade files for both C64 and C128 is available here.

https://gitlab.com/mkslack/Area6510/tree/master/releases/megapatch64_128

He also has made available the source code here

https://gitlab.com/mkslack/Area6510/tree/master/doc/megapatch64_128/current

Here below I am reporting his complete announcement.

"Hi there!

It has been a while... but after nearly 20 years a new release for GEOS
MegaPatch V3.3 is available for download!

GEOS MegaPatch V3 is a system upgrade for GEOS 2.x. It supports many
hardware devices like 1541,71,81, CMD FD,HD,RL, and as a new feature since
the last release from 2003: Support for SD2IEC devices with NativeMode disk
images up to 16Mb. Also additional 
SuperRAM drives up to 16Mb are possible (if you have Hardware like
Ultimate64... or VICE).

MP3 also supports many RAM expansions like C=REU, GEORAM, RAMLink or
RAMCard. It has a TaskManager which allows up to 8 Tasks active at the same
time. You can switch between many applications using C=+CTRL (or using
GEOS.TaskMSE and left+right mouse 
button). Requires lots of RAM!

I have tested this release with GEOS 2.0-US and GEOS 2.0r-US(GEORAM). On
GEOS128 only GEOS 2.0(with C=REU) has been tested.

Note that this release does not include a DESKTOP manager. You need a
DESKTOP application like DESKTOP (from GEOS 2.x), DualTop (my preferred
DE), TOPDESK (used by many German users...) or GeoDOS (an GEOS application
developed and updated in 2018 by 
myself).

The English release is based upon the same source code as the German
release but has not been tested that much. Most of the translations are
based on my very poor 20 years old English. Feedback is welcome!

The release can be downloaded here.

The Source Code is available as Plain Text here.

Please excuse my bad English since that is not my first language. If you
have any questions i will give my best to help but technical English may be
much more complicated.

Markus"
